    摘要: An inductively coupled mass spectrometer for detecting impurities present in infinitesimal concentrations in a sample. The basic spectrometer structure includes: a nebulizer connected to receive a solution of the sample and a gas for causing the nebulizer to produce a spray in the form of a mist composed of droplets of the sample solution; a spray chamber disposed for receiving the spray and classifying the droplets in the spray; a plasma torch operative for conducting a stream composed of the sample solution and at least one gas; a high frequency power source and a work coil coupled to the plasma torch for supplying energy to generate and maintain a plasma which ionizes the sample solution in the stream; and a mass detector disposed for receiving the ionized sample solution from the plasma torch and operative for detecting impurities in the ionized sample solution. The spray chamber further receives an additional flow of argon gas which acts to suppress the generation of molecular ions in the plasma, so that the analytical performance for detecting impurities, such as Fe or K or the like, is improved.

    摘要: In order to provide an ion beam lens to which a film causing a charge and rendering the analysis unstable will not adhere, the ion lens is provided with a deflector for deflecting an ion beam 90.degree.. The side of the deflector opposite the sampling interface is provided with an opening. Also, a correction electrode having at least a pair of elements is interposed between the deflector and a mass filter. Not only may a minute amount of impurities in a sample be detected, but also measurements may be conducted on a consistently stable basis.

    摘要: Simplified measurements may be conducted using a plasma ion source mass spectrometer by performing an ion count while scanning an ion beam and setting voltages applied to electrodes of at least an ion lens and a deflector at values which maximize the count value. The mass spectrometer comprises a plasma ion source for ionizing a sample in a plasma, a vacuum vessel containing deflection, detection and monitoring devices, a sampling interface for introducing the ionized sample into the vacuum vessel, and a data processing unit. An ion lens collects and condenses the ionized sample. A mass filter separates ions in the ion beam by mass. A deflector deflects the ion beam by 90 degrees to prevent light from the plasma from entering the mass filter. A scanning electrode scans the ion beam, and a detector detects ions that have passed through the mass filter and provides a corresponding output signal. A power supplies a scanning signal to the scanning electrode, and applies predetermined voltage signals to the ion lens and the deflector. The data processing unit counts output signals from the detector in synchronism with the scanning signal applied to the scanning electrode. Based upon the voltage applied to the scanning electrode and the output signal of the detector, the data processing unit calculates optimum values of voltages to be applied to the deflector, the scanning electrode and the ion lens.
